Everything these guys have for sale is stale, old and costly. The owner is always over-praising the items and always says that the stuff is fresh. However, I always had a bad experience for whatever stuff I buy from here. I have provided a few examples: 1. Meswak Toothpaste, manufactured 3 years back, like many other items which are already expired 2. Marathon Mangoes: If you believe the lady, the mangoes were from florida, from a farm of their Gujarati friend which has been developed from Seeds from India. And that these special fruit is available only at her store. Whereas I had purchased the same mangoes from Garden Fresh at a much cheaper price. 3. Home made sabji in the cold section: I had thought of buying these ready to eat sabji from Prabhu stores. The lady was as usual full praise for the stuff and said that these sabjis are really in demand and are prepared fresh every day. It was Friday and I thought I will purchase them on a weekday and carry it to office. I went to the store again on Monday and found that the sabji containers had not even been moved. The sabjis were in the same position on Monday. God knows how many days she had kept them in that fridge. I had similar experiences with Kachori, Aalo Bonda and other stuff she has for sale. They are all stale. I would have appreciated if the lady was truthful. I will never be buying stuff from her, I prefer SwamiNarayan / Sheetal on Dundee. For lump sum buying, I prefer to travel to Vishnu Foods next to Vishnuvilas / Parivar Grocers next to India House in Hoffman Estates. I would never suggest anybody to purchase stuff from Prabhu Grocers.

Dont even think of going there. All the items are way overpriced, owners are unbelievably rude, the packaged items are expired. I used to go because it was near my home, but stopped going after getting cheated repeatedly. Same items you can get from Sheetal (on Dundee Rd) for much lesser price within their expired date and the owners are friendly. Or from Fresh Farm on Dundee Rd or Garden Fresh Mt Prospect. They DONT deserve even one star.

I love this place for many reasons - good people at heart, prices are all marked on the shelves, you like it you buy it! very well stocked - their rice and flour are very competitive and good dvd selection too. Very CLEAN store, which is how it should be at all grocery stores! Try it for yourself!

Very NICE - MUST go once. Got nice response from the owner. They have plenty of options. The best I found here is the fresh home-made sabjis in the cold-section. The quantity was also good for 2 meals. The lady owner told they get those fresh everyday. I can skip cooking bhaji 2-3 days in a week

I usually prefer local stores for groceries n quick essentials. This store offers seasonal coupons and good for few weeks. Key in it contact to avail offers.
